The game is pretty good about recycling saves. The window stays at the bottom of the list so I literally just open the save dialog and click on the very last entry without scrolling. I save probably every 5-10 minutes lol. Gives me a backlog of 1-2 hours if things go sideways with bugs.

Did you happen to use GOG by chance? I'm trying to help my brother run the game on his Mac, but he continues to get "image not recognised" window after downloading the game multiple times from GOG via their downloader or just the standalone file. I'm playing on PC myself so I'm not sure of the issue, and he's out of town. Bah.
(Link to GOG thread if anyone knows anything/can help it would be *very much* appreciated)

One way to see if any of the companions have glitched stats is to check out the base stats they should have.
http://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.com/ this seems to be a good site without any spoilers what I can see at a quick glance. Just look up every companion there and compare to your game.
For example one of my companions has 19 INT when it should be 17, so it has definitely happened to me in some way.

And I also have the negative damage resistance bug on Pallegina (without equipment), although that's really minor in comparison
Why? Does reloading on Ondra's GIft in particular affect the whole party?I definitely reloaded on Ondra's Gift. It may have even been multiples times. My whole party is affected.

I'm playing a GOG Mac version, because it was actually the Steam version that wouldn't work for me. Whenever I tried to download the game from Steam, no matter what I did, Steam would download the PC .exe file, oddly enough. Could never get Steam to download the correct Mac file.
I used the GOG standalone download.
That only tells you about base stats, though... it's my understanding that any boost at all stacks...

Yes they are bugged. Deflection should be 73. You probably have a +5 deflection reapplied 5 times.
Yes but since items can add attributes as well you need to check attributes as well. Kanu, for example, commonly has way too high intelligence because he comes with a +1 INT turban that can get reapplied over and over again.
Do stats go up as you go up in level at all?
Is my deflection calculation messed up? I thought for a naked fighter that it's 24+3*character level.
Int, Might, etc? No, they do not. Or at least they didn't in my test environment: new game, level 1 human fighter and using console commands to add experience.
It doesn't trigger in areas other than the one you recruited the character.
For example:
Load in the Temple in Gilded Vale multiple times with no problem. Same with the inn, windmill, houses.

20 hours in playing on hard and I am 99% sure my Eder is bugged to hell (will confirm when I get home). He has been tanking like mad recently, I just assumed it was because of better gear. Just a question of whether I restart or not. Sucks.

Fighter is 25 start +3/Level.
You get +3 for each defense item per level and you also get increases to Health/Endurance and Accuracy.

DP.
Did you include the bonuses from perception and resolve?

Eh, Obsidian gonna Obsidian.
Regardless, the game is pretty good, and I'll just power through it ignoring the bugs in order to finish it before GTAV lands. I'll replay it bug-free near the expansion's release.

Ah, there's where I messed up. Thanks.

Do people know about the bug with "mode toggle" abilities?
It's broken my game.
Basically, modes can't be switched off, like the rogue's Reckless Assault.
If you shut down and re-enter the game, you can reactivate the ability on top of it being already activated. This seems to have unpredicatable effects, from stacking abilities to permanently preventing the bonuses from activating, to activating some parts of the ability bonus but not others.
It might have effects that differ based on where you are when you turn on the ability, which is super-wierd. Maybe something to do with effects unloading in area transitions.
I'm pretty pissed off that this slipped through QA. It's a great game but the number of gamebreaking bugs is ridiculous. The game was in beta for about three aons so I expected any major bugs to be squashed already.

I'm kind of glad I'm buying this game in 1.5 weeks, give it some time to iron out bugs.

I saw that someone on Something Awful was able to edit the save game to fix them. If this doesn't get fixed real, real soon then I suspect somebody will put together a utility to let you edit the characters.

It is a shame. These bugs were probably noticed at some but they didn't have time or resources available to fix them.

There are already cheat engine tables that let you do this. The problem is finding out what the values are supposed to be. Calculating all the stats for 6+ characters is not exactly what I want to be doing.
He is bugged. Oh well, not gonna wait for patch and restart. Will do playthrough with bugged character
Yikes! Well, I'll definitly wait for a patch.
Well, I guess we can all wait for the patch by writing on the wiki.
I just spent an hours fixing stuff that was completely wrong...
I'm using 5 hirelings, so I'm still that good

This makes me feel great as someone with a path of iron game using a ranger at the moment!
Time to find out where save files are located and manually back them up in case of bugs (not save-scumming, my conscience and OCD wouldn't let me).

A serious run is going to have to wait until a few patches are out there. Every time I avoid one bug another one pops up.
Yeah thats not how it works with complex games, especially ones with limited resources.

I am trying to remember how often (if ever) I loaded from saves in places like gilded vale and I don't think it was often, if ever. I think the reason the game feels slightly easier for me lately is just from having a level 9 party in parts of the game that are probably still tuned for ~lvl 7 groups. I blame the insane XP from warden bounties.
I know you cheated Ano. I know how you are from Marvel Heroes thread.
I'm keeping me eye on you here Ano.
dang cheater haha
I'm on Normal but still finding it balanced challenging, because I didn't get that Eder guy in the first town so I'm not using the bug. Some bear actually kicked my ass earlier
I want to play the right way

At least my other characters seem to be OK, but I have to find the way to fix that one or lose a few hours progress and load a save I have right before I recruited him. And that's very annoying considering the limited time I have as of late.
Does anyone know if there's a way to edit Deflection, Fortitude, etc. with console commands? It's looking like my only bugged character is Edér, and only slightly so, and if I could get his stats back into place with the console then I'd be set.
I've found how to edit Attributes and Skills but can't figure out how to edit Defenses.

So I took the plunge.
Looks like a nice hardcover at a decent price. I never buy game guides but they occasionally make nice mementos, esp. for epic-scale rpgs. Plus they feel way more collectable than random statues that I'm just too old to have laying around the house.
Super-stoked for its arrival.
For reference, here's the last one I purchased. And before that, Oblivion.
Question about Eders personal quest;
Does it really end to the wall when you learn that his brother talked with Waidwen before enlisting into Waidwens army, or is there more to come? Just seems like a huge tease that whole quest just ends there because you didn't hear what Eders brother and Waidwen talked about.
